Default Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk as DD

We're dual Jeep owners now... Just got a good deal on a new 2015 Trailhawk. Was looking at compact to midsize SUVs, and the 3.2L V6 version won my heart out of all the others considered (KIAs two SUVs, GMC Terrain, Ford Edge). Actually love driving it. How many other Cherokee and Wrangler owners out there?

We have a 14 Trailhawk. Only mistake is the 4 cyl. motor. The other negative for me is that visability sucks.

I drive a 2010 JKUR and my wife drives a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited. Couldn't be happier!

We're a Jeep family too. I drive a 2015 JK Rubicon and my wife drives a 2015 Cherokee. Prior vehicles were a 2006 TJ Rubicon and my wife drove a 2004 Liberty.

I have a 2014 Willys Wheeler for summer use and a 2016 Mango Tango 3.2L Cherokee Trailhawk with towing and cold weather groups. So far I love the Trailhawk for its intended use, winter salt and snow where it will be filthy and rusted in no time. I love the Wrangler and don't allow it to see salt. The Cherokee is my winter beater :-)

Picked up 2016 TH little over a week ago. Awesome vehicle have even taken it off road/pavement. While it is not the wrangler its parked next to, its not intended to be, it still did very well. Even managed to climb a particular hill in "ROCK" mode with the rear locker engage, all while not being aired down.

If you haven't already check out Rocky Road Outfitters' web page. Right now they are the only one's offering rock rails for the KL cherokee.

See ya over on the cherokee forums...

I drive a 2013 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited and my wife drives a 2015 Grand Cherokee Srt8. We definitely love our jeeps. Well actually her jeep only gets out on pretty days. Lol

Actually, Mopar Performance Catalog has rock rails for the KL as well. There are talks where some users love the RRO rock sliders, and other posts where they are getting no love and the Mopar are preferred.

RRO does do a front winch mount plate that goes on the front bumper and allows for addition of off-road lights also. You can do as a winch mount or not.

There is a dude on a KL forum that is supposed to be close to having a 1.5" or 2" spacer type budget boost lift also. I hope that that works out and becomes real at some point!

I've seen all the mods available, and quite honestly, I'll do my full rack setup on the roof, and call it a day. My mod money belongs on the Wrangler.
